NATIONAL SENATE/HOUSE RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

Fox: Grayson goes down in flames in FL-08

Rather bittersweet turn of events. Undoubtedly an asshole on a personal level, Grayson was at least not totally horrible on the issues. Plenty of other Democrats who deserved to go first...

MSNBC pointed out that Manchin is the kind of senator who would favour healthcare repeal whereas Lincoln sort of enabled it.

Well Manchin's only got two years to prove that he means what he says in opposing Barack Obama, before he's up for election again with Barry himself at the top of the ticket.

Higgins is fine.

20% counted in NY-13 and there's nowt in it. 10% in NY-4... and McCarthy trails.

Grimm is leading McMahon by 5 points in NY-13, despite Cuomo, Gillibrand, and Schumer all winning there.

What a truly horrible night.

Angle loses, while there appear to be enough stupid people in Alaska to write-in that vile piece of garbage Murkowski for another term.

Sam's Staten Island theory didn't seem to hold

I'm shocked, frankly.

Me too, McMahon seemed so strong with local support

Yes, quite an upset that Grimm beat McMahon...meanwhile Paladino lost Staten Island by 17 points.

Shame they couldn't have gotten someone less horrible than Grimm to occupy that seat for who-knows-how-long.

And there goes Minnick. Took NYT long enough to call it.

Wasn't there a thread on here not too long ago about Minnick being unbeatable, even though he was sticking to his pro-abortion beliefs? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Shame that Lawson lost.

But North Carolina is an especially authoritarian state.

WA:
Murray +14,005 (50.5% v 49.5%), with 62% reporting
King County only 55% in.


AK:
Write-ins (Murkowski) +7,242 (39.4% v 35.3%) with 70% reporting

What's out in AK is largely in the Bush - which only can help Murkowski (Native Associations backed her).  Again, as long as Alaskans can spell her name, Murkowski wins.

Disgusting. What a way to end the night. I genuinely feel sick to my stomach knowing that that woman will be back in the Senate again.

Hey, I found y'all another Republican Jew:

Has anyone noted yet that Michael Grimm is Jewish (remembering the McMahon staffer rants on the subject...)

Is Grimm himself actually Jewish? I thought the McMahon staffer scandal only involved a list of Jewish donors to Grimm's campaign.

Grimm did run flyers during the primary touting his Italian-American mother, but people with German surnames can indeed often actually be Jewish.

Of course, he was endorsed by Dov Hikind, which was the last straw in terms of having any chance of getting my vote.
